| Introduction | Painting horses and landscapes from life is exhilarating. Since, a horse can't be "posed" like a human model, I feel like I am really living in the moment. Seeing the light and color first hand add vibrancy and clarity to my work. Being able to connect with my subject and express that helps me to connect with those that enjoy my paintings. I want viewers to feel the crisp air, smell the desert in bloom, hear the soft sigh of the horse and be touched by the life and beauty seen through my brush strokes. When I'm not behind the easel, you can find me riding down the trail, hanging out with the source of my inspiration-horses and nature! |
